Cameo Coral, Apricot Appeal, Mellow Moss, and Creamy Caramel.

    Nancy,
    This card is beautiful! Everything goes together so well.
    That stamp set needs to come out of retirement.

    What a great way to resurrect this wheel! I loved that set and haven't thought of anything to do with just the wheel alone; thanks for showing this great idea!

    I'm so happy to see your comment about DP. Although I love most of the papers and do have some, I really feel like it lessens the value of a truly homemade card. I also feel that way with the
    rub-ons. I just can't get myself to use them. This is just my opinion and not a criticism of anyone's work so please don't take offense, anyone!
